Clement opened the scoring in the ballgame as he swatted a first-pitch curveball from Max Fried for a 354-foot (94.1 mph EV) two-run blast in the second inning. He then added an RBI single during a three-run uprising in the third inning that made it a 5-0 ballgame. Clement singled in the sixth inning as well, finishing the day 3-for-4.

Both hits were grounders. The double was pretty well struck down the left field line, while the single was just a little roller that Gunnar Henderson couldn’t make a do-or-die play on. Clement’s double was his 30th of the season. That matches his career total in 816 plate appearances coming into the year.

Clement will sit out his third straight game after suffering a fracture in his left middle finger in addition to needing stitches after being spiked in the shin earlier this week. It sounds like he’s going to avoid a trip to the injured list, but will need a few extra days off.

Clement is available off the bench after receiving stitches in his leg after getting spiked during Tuesday’s contest. He’s also dealing with a broken bone in his left middle finger, according to Blue Jays manager John Schneider. It’ll be Addison Barger filling in at the hot corner with Davis Schneider getting into the lineup on Wednesday night.

Clement has four homers in five games after hitting just five in his first 115 contests. He seemed likely to lose playing time against righties with Andrés Giménez back, but that’s certainly not going to happen until he cools off some; he’s hitting .405/.421/.838 with seven RBI in his last eight games. The homer tonight off Javier Assad was his third versus a right-hander. He’s hit .260/.295/.336 against them, compared to .345/.376/.583 versus lefties.

It’s the first career five-hit game for Clement, who raised his average to .289. He had been hitting just .224/.272/.291 in his previous 35 games, and he’s in danger of losing some playing time when Andrés Giménez returns, so this will help.

The Blue Jays had been shut out by Reese Olson through the first five innings, but they found their stroke in the sixth. There, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. smacked a run-scoring double that tied the game and then with two outs the Tigers walked Addison Barger intentionally to face Clement. He made them pay, clobbering a 1-0 changeup for a 396-foot go-ahead three-run blast. Clement also singled in the ballgame and drove in a run with a sacrifice fly in the seventh inning, finishing the night 2-for-4. On the season, he’s now slashing .284/.321/.392 with five long balls, 31 RBI and three swipes in 373 plate appearances.

Clement has been terrific against lefties this season, which is why he was leading off against Carlos Rodón tonight, but he’s not really hitting anyone at the moment. He should be in line to play far less against righties if the Jays ever have their offense completely healthy.

Four straight two-hit games have elevated Clement’s average to .310. He was at .271 two weeks ago, but he’s since gone 22-for-45, albeit with just two RBI. His steal tonight was his third success in six attempts.

Quietly, Clement has had a great season and has been scorching hot in June, going 28-for-74. That has come with just six extra base hits, one home run, and no steals in 19 games, which highlights a bit of the downside to his game from a fantasy perspective. The batting average will be there, and the runs will be too when Toronto is hot, but Clement won’t help you much in the other categories. Still, he could be a valuable piece depending on your team’s needs.

Clement drew the start at shortstop on Sunday with Bo Bichette as the DH. The 29-year-old third baseman hit .306/.349/.469 in May and is off to a .340/.353/.500 start in June. Clement’s fantasy utility is strictly limited to AL-Only leagues and deeper mixed formats due to his lack of power. He’s hitting .292 with a .742 OPS on the year.

Clement was back at third base following an early exit from Wednesday’s contest with the Cardinals with a lower-body injury. It doesn’t appear to be a serious concern moving forward.

In honor of the Stanley Cup playoffs, Toronto is using hockey terminology to classify Clement’s ailment following an early exit from Wednesday’s game against the Cardinals. It doesn’t sound like a serious concern, but fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status heading into Friday’s series opener against the Phillies.

Clement was hurt while trying to make a diving play in the eighth, but it seemed like he just had the wind knocked out of him. He remained in to finish the inning, but he was then lifted for defense in the ninth, which is not something that would typically happen. If there was something beyond getting the wind knocked out of him, it might have been an issue with his left knee, which hit the ground pretty hard.

Seven hits and two homers in two days have taken Clement’s OPS from .601 to .697. It seemed likely that he’d take a seat against right-handers once Andrés Giménez came off the IL, but he’s suddenly making a case to remain a full-timer. Still, Addison Barger would seem to deserve to remain at third against righties; he also homered and he walked twice tonight, taking his OPS up to .785. The Jays will probably go to Clement at third and Barger at DH at times while Anthony Santander is on the IL. They can also play Barger in the outfield.

Clement opened the scoring in the contest with a 383-foot (97.1 mph EV) three-run shot off of Jacob Lopez. He then came to the plate against Anthony Maldonado later in the same inning and added on a two-run double that extended the Jays’ lead to 8-0. With his three-hit attack, the 29-year-old infielder is now slashing .256/.301/.344 with two homers, 16 RBI and two stolen bases through his first 176 plate appearances on the season.

Clement needed that. The 29-year-old has been a regular starter at third base but has really struggled to start the year and is slashing just .194/.268/.250 on the season. He also now has one steal, but he will run if he can continue to get on base.
